Verify your data before reporting

Thirty minutes on this phase prevents your verifier from returning the report months later with corrections. A file that has been uploaded is not necessarily a file that has been calculated — run through these three checks before moving to the reporting phase.

Step 1 — Confirm every file is processed

Uploaded files go through an automatic parsing and calculation pipeline. Check that every file has reached Processed status and that none are stuck on Error or still Processing.

Guide: Check the status of an uploaded file

If a file shows an error, open it to see the reason. Common causes are a missing facility assignment, an unrecognised date format, or an invoice with zero consumption values.

Step 2 — Recalculate if you changed anything

If you corrected a value, updated an emission factor, or changed a facility assignment after the original upload, the totals will not update automatically. Trigger a recalculation to refresh the numbers across all affected records.

Step 3 — Export and reconcile against your invoices

Export the detailed emission breakdown and compare it against your source documents before closing the year. Look for:

• Consumption values that seem too high or too low relative to the invoice.
• Any month showing zero consumption when you know data exists.
• Scope 1 refrigerant totals that seem low — often caused by missing annual recharge records.

Once the totals match your source documents, you are ready for Phase 4 — completing the 78 EINF disclosure requirements.
